Search for “cracked block” here or on the Moomba Forum. Betting they did not drain water.

I used the bucket method on my Rider. Never pulled a one plug in my life. Just ran antifreeze through motor and never had an issue.
On 242 however, takes me 40 min to winterize with draining the block and hoses. I don't add any antifreeze as in Hunter's step 4.
Two seasons so far and no issues either.
Both stored indoors and GA winters aren't like the north so going to the extreme here is not my thing.
My advice is do it your way and do whatever your are comfortable with that makes it so you can sleep at night.

Antifreeze will not enter a cold block ( it will bypass it and flow directly thru the exhaust manifold and out the mufflers and exhaust) and there may be 2 gallons of water in the block. No antifreeze will enter a block untill it is up to temp and then the thermostat only begins to allow hot water to escape and plumbing antifreeze will then start to dilute the block water. Again , you will need 10x the amount of antifreeze or 20 gallons to achieve a freeze protection of -30. Drain your block or crack you block. I write this not for comp but anyone who was thinking of using this method.

run your engine after you change the oil

I maybe get 1/2 a gallon of fluid out the exhaust before the thermostat opens???

I forgot to mention the low in East Texas winters is usually no lower than 25 degrees.

Also is it easier to drain block and get all 5 gallons of water out or take the thermostat out?
